Robert walton meets the stranger

The two men that we meet in the letters are vary similar and vary different. Robert is starting his quest to find the North Pole and is still on the high of being on the brink of the map. The stranger on the other hand is in a vary different state he has no been trying to find and do something for some time and has not yet completed the task. The stranger has been beaten up by the task and has pushed him to become something and do things that he never wanted to do in many ways it has made the stranger mad. Though there is this difference in where they are at in their quest to make new discoveries and advance the world (though the stranger feels that he has now done something bad) they are vary similar in that they are both men of science and are on quests but they also have been with out a friend for a long time and are craving that human contact that comes with a friend. They are both similar in that they have also had to work hard and to but every thing that they have on hold in order to do their task and to go on there quest. The men are not that different but they are at different points in their quest.
